Try using the CMake build, the old build files were too hard to work
with to create configurations like this.
I currently create (in CMake) wx.dll using either static or shared
wxWidgets libs so this will probably be exactly what you want.
Search for wxLua_Modules_LuaModule_TARGETS in
wxLua/modules/CMakeLists.txt and duplicate that function to create
your lib.

Use CMake... the old build files are hard coded for wx28.

see above

I prefer a mailing list.

No thanks, I need to maintain compatibility for now.
